Tile repair in Church End, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you have chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.
In a village like Church End, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, and matching them is difficult. Repairing the damage keeps the original.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Church End, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the tile repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
